Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are preparing for yet another international venture, this time to Colombia, with their trip scheduled to commence on Thursday.
The journey has already become a spectacle, with reports of confusion surrounding their travel plans. According to the latest rumors, as of last night, the Sussexes have yet to finalize the itinerary for their Colombian adventure, which is only two days away. It certainly seems like a last-minute scramble, doesn’t it? And one might wonder— is a visit to an emerald processing center even necessary? It’s no secret that Meghan's affinity for precious gems often surpasses her interest in philanthropy.
The purpose of the trip now appears crystal clear: Meghan is likely eyeing a stash of emeralds. Expect to see her debuting a new emerald and diamond ring, or perhaps even a tiara, after the trip. Meghan’s intentions seem obvious, as subtlety has never been her strong suit, and this new gem-hunting mission confirms her well-established penchant for a bit of sparkle.
This quest for emeralds aligns perfectly with Meghan’s past actions, such as her infamous demand to wear the coveted Emerald Tiara for her wedding, which Princess Eugenie ultimately wore instead. Meghan’s frustration at that time was palpable, but perhaps this time, her luck will change. If nothing else, a visit to an emerald processing center would add a touch of authenticity to an otherwise carefully curated public persona. Who knows? We might even witness a genuine look of admiration or, dare we hope, a truly organic smile.
The speculation doesn't stop there. Some sarcastically suggest that the true reason behind this Colombian adventure is less about gemstones and more about the Sussexes’ financial desperation. With no apparent source of substantial income, could Harry and Meghan be contemplating a more unconventional career path as drug mules? It's a bleak yet oddly plausible theory, given their unpredictable track record. Additionally, there’s talk that Archie and Lilibet might join their parents on the South American tour.
According to a royal source, this would be Harry and Meghan’s second overseas trip this year, following their four-day visit to Nigeria in May. While Archie and Lilibet were absent from the Nigeria trip, they might make an appearance in Colombia. The source reveals that Archie is more likely to accompany his parents than his younger sister, Lilibet. Meghan is reportedly weighing the benefits of bringing the children along, aware that their presence would generate additional media buzz, further bolstering the Sussexes' brand. It’s a classic Meghan move, leveraging every opportunity for maximum exposure.
Meanwhile, a friend of Prince William has offered a rather pointed suggestion. The unnamed friend believes Harry should address his past cocaine use during the trip to Colombia, a country grappling with drug-related crime. In his memoir Spare, Harry admitted to experimenting with cocaine at 17, a revelation that has not gone unnoticed. The friend argues that Harry's trip could serve as an opportunity for him to acknowledge the impact of narco-terrorism and apologize for his past involvement in the drug scene. This gesture, they argue, would be a step towards making amends.
In his 2023 memoir, Harry detailed his experiences with cocaine, describing how he used it to feel different and escape the pressures of his royal life. He also mentioned his reliance on alcohol and drugs, including cocaine and psychedelics, following Princess Diana’s death. As Harry and Meghan prepare for their Colombian journey, it’s clear that this trip will be anything but ordinary. Whether it’s hunting for emeralds or navigating public perceptions, the Sussexes’ latest adventure promises to be yet another chapter in their ongoing saga of high-profile escapades and questionable intentions.
